The AMS is endorsing a yes vote for most of the 2016 referendum questions currently open to students. Others have been more critical. We'll break down what each question means, and how we'll be voting.

This election features two powerhouse women who have given an incredible amount to students on this campus already, and who are capable of giving even more as president. With either candidate, the AMS and the student body would be in good hands.

There are 34 candidates running in the 2016 AMS elections at UBC. Click through to watch videos and read profiles of the people running for President, VP Academic, VP Admin, VP Finance, VP External, Board of Governors and Senate.

The elections staff this year are lovely — they’re warm, welcoming, friendly and eager to help. They’re also, for the most part, categorically useless at their jobs. How did they get their positions? Who knows.

Here’s a scenario: it’s 2 a.m., you’re on campus with your significant other and you want to get intimate. If you’re in residence, your situation is easy. But if a bed is a lengthy commute away, you are gonna have to find somewhere private.

For the last letter to say that they expected to disclose the records by January 19 and then have the OIP tell us that that — despite this “expectation” — they didn’t necessarily mean they were going to release it today is underhanded and deceptive.

We're not arguing that UBC should be writing about men’s team’s new uniforms — they should be focusing on the near-superhuman achievements of all their athletes — but they definitely shouldn't be only writing about the women’s teams.

2015 was a busy one. Fortunately you had The Ubyssey to distract you with articles about Mandopop stars, hot profs and tuition increases. We've compiled our top 10 most popular articles from the past year:

As students, we ask for an excellent education. We ask to be supported by our university. We did not ask for UBC to fight its way up an arbitrary rankings list. We did not ask UBC to become a “Place of Mind.”
